Quote:Judge Dee and his entourage, seeking refuge from a mountain storm, become trapped in a Taoist monastery, where the Abbott Jade mysteriously dies after delivering an ecstatic sermon. The monks call it a supernatural experience, but the judge calls it murder. Recalling the allegedly accidental deaths of three young women in the same monastery, Judge Dee seeks clues in the eyes of a cat to solve cases of impersonation and murder. A painting by one of the victims reveals the truth about the killings, propelling the judge on a quest for justice and revenge.Category:Fiction, Mystery & Thrillers, Peoples & Cultures - Fiction, Fiction Subjects, Historical Fiction, Asian Peoples & Cultures - Fiction & Literature, Literary Styles & Movements - Fiction, Other Mystery Categories, Occupations - Fiction, China - Historical Fiction, Chinese People - Fiction, Fiction - Other, Historical Mysteries, Judges - Fiction
